Long time Awaiting

Good afternoon my name is Wahleeah I have been looking for a divorce lawyer for a while I came across this law for him on the Internet. It was reasonable in price everything came in a timely manner and when the stuff arrived and made it very easy for me and self-explanatory that I was able to grant ...the information to my ex-husband for him to process our paperwork in a reasonable time manner! The price was right and I did not take 13 weeks and took approximately nine weeks so I’m truly grateful that my divorce is finalized I pray that everybody else that goes to the situations and trials that I have been through it works out for you as well blessings!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
